THE i SLAYER CAUGHT.
TOM MILLER'S SLAYER CAPTURED.
After Six Weeks of Freedom he Came
to Salisbury.
Sheriff Julian and all his depu
ties are in a happy mood today
over the capture of Joe Koontz,
colored, who has been badly want
ed for several weeks.
About seven weeks ago Koontz
shot and killed Tom Miller, also
colored. Both of the men livedr
in the neighborhood of Watson
ville, Locke township, and it was
declared by some that the shoot-
t ln? was an accident and a coro
er's jiiry so declared.-- '
This was aot entirety satisfac
v "J tory, however, and officers were
: ' rsent out to take Koontz. He was
. J gone and while it was known that
V1. he had been seen in the Woodleaf
neighborhood he could not be
; rS found. - I
jr . " Today be came to Salisbury and
- . . was nabbed in short order.
i , He was taken to jail and will be
tried in February.
A MISTAKE CORRECTED.
A Wrong Impression About the
School Apportionment Fund.
The communication from Dr. C.
M. Poole in yesterday's Sun rela
tive J to the school apportionment
in which he took issue with the
Board of Education and which was
a plausible effort was readily en
dorsed, by the Sux. r
Superintendent Kizer, however,
tells us it was all a mistake. The
matter of dividing up the moneys
in the different districts was not
discussed by the board.
According to law the board
makes two apportionment yearly
and was an additional 15 cents per
capita in the school fund which was
divided.' ?:-r'-::-' . -
The .impression leading Dr.
Poole to make the comments was
made by a report of the board's
proceedings in our morning neigh
bor which, it appears, was unfor-
tunately, constructed. '
...Mr. Kizer says, and we are glad
. to "note "it, that all the balances are
on the book to the credit of the
different' districts and are to re
,main there nntil used- by the
schools.
To Look Over the Field. V
tev. A. C. Whitner,. president
of the board of home missions of
the Reformed church in the Unit
ed States has selected VV, S.
Cramer, a young Theological
..student of Lancaster, Fa., to take
charge of Reform mission at this
place, recently made vacant by
the death of Rev. Gerney Weber.
Mr. Cramer will -be here Sun
day,' February 3rd and hold two
services in' the church, and to
look over the field to see whether
or not he will accept the-place.
i The members are very anxious
for a pastor and will welcome his
coming.
